Dollman is a great movie, goddammit, and I don't care what anyone says.

This is a big part of it. She was notoriously difficult. And getting older is never a benefit to an actress.

We only had like 4 channels back in the 90s and no streamers like Netflix. If you wanted to watch an Adam Sandler movie you had to go to the theater or wait 6 months for the VHS. The other films you mentioned were spectacles like superhero movies are and/or based on well-known and loved material (The Queen bio included).
Seems like you are looking for evidence to back up your conclusion rather than working the other way around.

They would just complain about whatever blockbusters take their place.
Some dude in the 90s: What would happen if Hollywood stopped making disaster movies? Some dude in the 80s: What would happen if they stopped making buddy cop movies. Some dude in the 70s: What would happen if Hollywood stopped making spy movies? Some dude in the 60s: What would happen if they stopped making WW2 movies? Some dude in the 50s: What would happen if they stopped making westerns?

Fuck me, you just nailed down exactly what I've been trying to say about him to friends. He's got great hair and yells or cries a lot.

I see people giving Tarantino credit for a lot of things he had nothing to do with. One person on Reddit claimed he was responsible for John Woo being hired in Hollywood.

Okay, I will agree that it's likely the film was greenlit for that reason but I've never seen anything to support this. It's debatable. However, Travolta was definitely cast only because of his success with Pulp Fiction.
And I've never seen anyone say Get Shorty was a bad movie. It's a great movie.

Yeah, no. Elmore Leonard is one of Tarantino's influences, not the other way around.

There is zero chance that Jim Jarmusch was ripping off, or even inspired in any way by Tarantino.

A few of the movies listed here are not rip-offs, they just came after Pulp Fiction was a big hit so people assume they were.

This movie is way more fun than it should be. Albert Pyun movies are usually fun to watch, despite having no money and bad scripts.

Did you just say Get Shorty, an adaptation of a book by Tarantino's favorite author, was a rip-off of Tarantino's work? The truth is that Tarantino is influenced by Elmore Leonard. Not the other way around, lol.
This is like claiming that Sergio Leone's films are rip-offs of Tarantino's.

To be fair, Scott Rosenberg wrote this well before Tarantino had made his first film.

Reply to comment by DevilMasterKING in My thoughts on Jason and the Argonauts. What are your thoughts on this movie by DevilMasterKING
There was a TV mini-series back around 2000. Hallmark made a bunch of them like Jack & the Beanstalk, Gulliver's Travels, and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. There was one for The Odyssey but I don't think it was Hallmark who made it.

Reply to comment by inkscraper in Bullet Train illustrated review by inkscraper
I remember when video stores first started. I was about 6-8. I always wanted to rent Flash Gordon. I didn't know it was a silly, campy presentation. I took it as seriously as Star Wars. The scene when he sticks his hand in that thing was so scary and suspenseful to me. I thought his fight with Timothy Dalton on the floating disc thing was the most exciting thing ever.

I saw this in a huge and totally empty theater in downtown Vancouver. I had the place all to myself. I felt like some wealthy Hollywood bigshot. The movie is a favorite and I highly recommend James Ellroy's novels.
